Cathie Dugas
Director of the CCDMD
The English-Language Division of the CCDMD is
very proud to publish the 6th edition of its Website Directory
for English-Language Improvement 2013–2014. Updated with a
new Grammar Section, this collection of over 150 basic-toadvanced resources for students learning English or using
English for academic purposes is also available online at
www.ccdmd.qc.ca/en/internet_directory.
Like previous editions, our Website Directory includes
an index to help you quickly find sites that interest you, and
it also features user-friendly sections, from our Top 20 sites
to websites related to the CCDMD, resources for building
academic skills to those created by local institutions, not to
mention sites just for teachers.
Preference has been given to sites with multimedia
tools that are free, easy to use, and possess clear educational
value. Following requests from teachers in the network, we
have regrouped all grammar-related sites into a separate section. As the Internet is constantly evolving, we appreciate
receiving your feedback if you discover any problems as you
explore our Directory.
This useful guide is also available as a free, printable
PDF. Please consult the website to get your copy!

What is
the CCDMD?
The Collegial Centre for Educational Materials Development
(CCDMD) is managed by the Collège de Maisonneuve.
The CCDMD produces print, digital and online materials
for teaching staff and students throughout the Québec
college system. Its mandate is both to ensure that students
in the system have access to quality educational materials in
both French and English, and to contribute to the development of these materials at the various stages of production.
The CCDMD produces materials for a wide range of courses
and programs for students as well as specific materials aimed
at improving English and French language skills.
These services are funded by Québec’s Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche, de la Science et de la
Technologie and, in some cases, make use of contributions
from the Canada-Québec Agreement on Minority-Language
Education and Second Language Instruction.
